"Just as a mirror exists as part and apart from its reflected images, so we are just a reflection of who we really are."
Another year has rolled on by, 12 months, 365 days, time and more time, ticking on. Did you roll with it? Did you get rolled over by it, or did you simply roll away with the hustle and bustle of distractions?
We welcome you back home, home to yourself, home to your heart, home to a place of nurture. Perhaps you've heard directly from Creacon's founder those wonderful words whispered back in your ear, "Creacon, a place to come and re-charge your batteries..." Yes, a haven where you come to allow the very stillness and serenity breathe new life into your being. If your flame is flickering low, let it be lit with the Divine Fire of Love ~ Prema Agni. This year, the year 2012 is about awareness and taking action towards a greater, higher conscious of loving service, even if that service is to "yourSelf" when you need a tune-up you can tune-in. It's a time of cooperation and surrender to the vast and infinite Love and Light that is simply there, waiting for you to embrace it and allow it to move you. So don't roll away with the days, don't get rolled over by them, simply allow yourself to be moved with grace. When you are ready, we'll be awaiting your arrival. Be sure to visit our website which is super filled with all the information you'll need, calender of events, teachings, and much, much more!

Potato Broccoli & Red Cheddar Cakes
Ingredients;
 | |
Winter onions 1st time in the garden!
|
500g (1lb) cooked potatoes, mashed
30g (1oz) butter
2 tsp salt
100g (4 oz) flour
250g (10 oz) broccoli
250g (10 oz) red cheddar cheese
60g (2 oz) chopped parsley
Method;
Add the butter, broccoli, (boiled very well done) and salt to the potatoes and work in the flour. Then add the red cheddar cheese and a bit of chopped parsley. Knead the dough until it forms a ball. Roll the dough on a floured board to a thickness of 1/2 cm (1/4 in). Cut circle shapes using a plate. Cut these circles into 4 quadrants. Cook on a hot oiled pan until both sides are brown. These are delicious served with sour cream. (Feel free to substitute for vegan alternatives in this recipe too!)
Chef's Tip:
Store spices in a cool, dark place, not above your stove. Humidity, light, and heat will cause herbs and spices to lose their flavor.
Sprinkle with Love and Enjoy!

"The gate way to higher levels of consciousness is your heart.
Through self-healing, selfless service, prayer, meditation, contemplation, devotion, faith, and Divine Grace, we can move beyond limited physical awareness to a deeper, more fulfilling awareness of a higher Divine plan."
We wish you well!
